Apple not commenting on Terrence's promise to run Java ME on iPhones

I work with Terrence Barr in our Java ME Mobile and Embedded Community group, so I can kid around with him. ;-) NEWSFLASH: This just in... "Terrence goes on the line and promises Java ME running on all iPhones by next year..." Or, so the headline would read if we wanted to twist around his quote on Internet blog posts. ;-)

See:

Terrence to provide Java on iPhones!
Apple is silently stunned by comment!

Here's a quote: 

 ...next year, you could be 
 playing regular Java mobile 
 games on your iPhone.  At 
 least, that's what Terrence 
 Barr says.  He's the technical 
 evangelist for the Java mobile 
 and embedded community at Sun, 
 the company behind Java.
Well, make sure you always read the exact quote and judge for yourself what Terrence means. I do like the fact that Apple has not commented... Hmmm... Bok, bok? Bok??? :-)

Hey Hinkmond,

In fact, I *promise* that Java ME will run on iPhones by March just in case the quotes weren't clear on that! ;-)

Amazing what a little game of "Chinese whisper" can do to a a statement.

Cheers,

Well, I hope you have a good Java code editor tool and lots and lots of coffee for when the iPhone SDK comes out, since you are "promising" that. ;-)

But, I'm sure you will have lots of help from the phoneME community, so no problems there. :-)

We call the game "Telephone" or "Operator" here in the U.S., but I know what you mean. ;-)
